Description
Camlad House, formerly known as Bryn Hyfred Hospital, is a three-storey building constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with slate roofs. The main facade faces northwest and is symmetrical, featuring a central block with nine window bays flanked by slightly forward-set three-bay end wings that extend to the rear, each with five bays on the inner face. The wings have hipped roofs.
The main front includes a central round-headed entrance doorway with plain pilasters that curve outward to form brackets for an open pediment. It features double panelled doors with an overlight above. The ground floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while the second and third floors have 9-pane sashes, all of which are now horned. The windows are topped with rubbed flat brick arches and have stone sills. There are inserted glazed doors in bays 2, 5, 11, and 14. The eaves are adorned with brick dentils. The wings have a similar style of small pane windows, with shallow projections added to the outer faces in the late 19th century. The northeast wing has 20th-century raking brick buttresses.
At each end of the main block, there are two-storey pavilion blocks with hipped roofs, connected to the main building by corridors. The left block has a three-bay front, with upper windows featuring six panes and ground floor windows with 12 panes, while most of the other windows are modern. There are single-storey brick extensions to the northeast and rear. The right-hand block, which contains the theatre for dramatic performances, has recent glazing, with three upper floor windows and a broad opening with a stone architrave and glazed doors on the ground floor, along with a rear projection.
The interior has been modified to accommodate hospital needs.
